The minimum time is the one that occurs when the rotor is being accelerated or decelerated with the maximum torque of the driving
motor. This time varies with the type of rotor in use.

FUNCTION Field
Figure 4-5. Function Field
The RC6 Plus Superspeed centrifuge has many add-on features such as programmed operation and
centrifugal force values displaying and setting. These features are displayed and selected on the
FUNCTION field.
PROG : You can save run conditions in memory for later use in repeated operation.
This feature also allows step-mode operation (three normal operations can be combined in a sequence
of operations).
RCF : The centrifuge automatically computes and displays RCF values from set speed, or speed from
set RCF values.
ω 2 T : The centrifuge automatically computes and displays run time from set speed and ω
Programmed Operation
Programmed operation capability is an add-on feature that saves set run conditions in memory for later
use. This feature allows you to save frequently used run conditions in memory and then recall the saved
run conditions whenever you need them, thus making the operation procedure simple. (Even when the
POWER switch is turned off, the saved run conditions remain in memory.) The memory in the
centrifuge can contain 30 sets of run parameters.
